Acrylics – All cast and extruded acrylics can be processed with amazing results. The cut-edge is left with a fire-polished finish, reducing the need for a post-process after machining.

Woods and wood products – Laser cutting on wood and wood products leaves a charred cut edge but a very small kerf width, which can provide operators a limitless supply of possibilities.

Metals – The maximum power laser offered by MultiCam can cut carbon steel up to 4.0mm and stainless steel up to 1.0mm. Unlike the high kilowatt systems, the sealed tube design of the CO2 laser maintains a very low daily cost of operation.

Marble/Granite – The 2000 Series Laser cannot cut through, but can imprint amazing quality images on the surfaces of marble and granite.
Polycarbonate – Thinner polycarbonate materials (e.g., Lexan) at 0.04” (1.0mm) can be laser cut with a dark brown to black cut edge.

MultiCam - The Ultimate Creative Tool!

"It is hard to believe that it was only six years ago I witnessed a CNC router in action for the very first time. I was fascinated with what I saw and simply had to have one! Although I had been in the creative end of the three dimensional sign business for most of my life I didn't really know what I would do with one - but I just knew it could do fantastic stuff." more
